Recently I’ve been really thinking about what I’ve been eating and decided I wanted to increase the protein and lessen the carbs in my meals. This means I’m cooking a lot of our meals from scratch.

When it comes to weekday breakfast, though, I need something tasty, filling, and fast. That’s why I’m totally in love with this 2-minute cheesy spinach scrambled eggs mug recipe. Scrambled eggs made in a microwave? Have I lost my mind? I was skeptical at first, too, but intrigued at the idea of super quick scrambled eggs and not even having to wash a skillet. In addition to eating fewer carbs, I’m also trying to eat more organic foods.

When we were doing some shopping at Sam’s Club the other day I saw that they had the happy egg co. organic eggs and couldn’t resist picking some up to try because:

They’re the first commercial free range egg producer in the US to be certified by the American Humane Association™

Eggs are produced by free to roam hens raised on family run free range farms

The happy egg co. never uses hormones

The eggs have a beautiful deep golden yolk

These eggs are also available at stores nationwide including Sam’s Club, Safeway, Albertson’s, Kroger, and Walmart. Find your local store with their store locator

Oh, and they taste great, too

2-Minute Cheesy Spinach Microwave Scrambled Eggs Mug Recipe

I’m super picky about how I like my eggs cooked, especially scrambled eggs. They need to be fluffy and moist and preferably have at least a couple mix-ins. This time I opted for some spinach and cheese, but the options are pretty much endless of what you can add in. I usually cook some breakfast sausage on weekends and this weekend I plan on cooking some extra so I can make this again with an extra protein punch. Yep, I actually loved these microwave scrambled eggs and will likely be having them at least a couple times a week from now on. I really do think the extra-good flavor and visually appealing color of the happy co. eggs helped make them even better.

My favorite thing about this microwaved scrambled eggs recipe is just how quickly they come together. I literally had them made and cooked in 2 minutes! They’re perfect for when you need breakfast on the go, are cooking for just yourself, or everyone in your family likes different things in their scrambled eggs. Here’s how to make scrambled eggs in the microwave.

Ingredients

Instructions

Spray a large mug, keeping in mind that the eggs will rise when cooking, with non-stick cooking spray.

Break the eggs into the mug then add in the water, milk, or cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Stir in the spinach. If the leaves are on the larger size I just tear them apart with my fingers a bit.

The exact time needed to cook your eggs will depend on your microwave. Here's what I did: microwave the eggs for 30 seconds on high. Stir the eggs a few times and then microwave again for 30 more seconds. Stir the eggs again, sprinkle the cheese on top and microwave for an additional 15-45 seconds or until the eggs have reached your desired doneness and the cheese has melted.

The eggs will be very hot but you can eat them straight out of the mug if you need to get out the door or you can slide them out onto a plate.
